Many users of the forum will be familiar with JDAW's free software to make placemats for tastings. Some users may feel they are not suitably qualified to use the software - if this is you, then a wizard has been developed which allows you to create the postscript file necessary for creating placemats and associated pages.

Am personally not keen on "Wizard" (I would prefer "UI" or "User Interface") but can see the value of a simple reference term for less technical users; whatever term is used I think needs better initial explanation, along the lines of "... has made a Web-based user interface (the "Wizard" [or whatever]) allowing the user to create placemats by completing a form on a web page. The Wizard thus has the great advantage of simplifying the creation of placemats, but the disadvantage of hiding almost all of the 400+ parameters, putting many features and settings beyond its reach..." and suggest replace laziness with "ease-of-use".
